Introduction to Seafood Business \ x0d \ x0d \ Every day, many people come to our store to ask how to cook dried seafood-to deliver seafood or to open seafood restaurants and food stalls. \x0d\ This is not only because the seafood business is profitable, but also whether seafood is popular or not represents the catering level of a region. With the improvement of keeping alive technology and equipment, and the continuous extension of highways to the hinterland, it has gradually become a reality for ordinary people in inland cities to eat live seafood like seaside people. This paper summarizes the answers to related questions in recent years for the reference of friends who have the same idea. \x0d\ For new entrants with petty bourgeoisie (about 65,438+10,000 yuan) \x0d\x0d\ First, the source of goods \ x0d \ Don't look for the source of goods at the beginning \ x0d \ Seafood transportation has a prominent feature that the less it is transported, the higher the cost, and the harder it is to live. \x0d\ This should be easy to understand. With more transportation, there can be a large space and a large water body. If you can keep up with oxygen and refrigeration, the survival rate will be high. The relative transportation cost will come down. \x0d\ Even if you know the origin of seafood, you will face a dilemma if you have less money. There are too many shipments, and I am worried that I can't sell them. If the shipment is too small, the unit price will be too expensive. \x0d\ So our experience for so many years is, please don't do purchasing research. Waste energy, no gain. \x0d\ Find the nearest wholesale market to purchase goods \ x0d \ x0d \ So what should we do? Is to take advantage. Find the nearest provincial capital city or central city around you. If you are far away, congratulations, here is a blank piece of paper, you can show your talents here. But remember, being a pioneer often costs more than being a latecomer. If you are close, congratulations, maybe someone is already doing it, and you have a chance to learn from it and then surpass it. \x0d\ II。 Investigate the market \ x0d \ x0d \ understand the above reason, you can start work. I especially remind you not to sit in the office and study, so you may fall behind a few steps. ) \x0d\ First of all, I suggest you know about the local market. The best way is to invite some friends who know the hotel (at least business) to a famous local restaurant for dinner several times. Pay attention to whether there is seafood when eating. If so, see which varieties are repeatedly recommended and which varieties are placed in a conspicuous position. Write down the price and return. You can almost know if you can do it after eating it a few times. \x0d\ The second thing is to visit the largest farmers' market. Generally, in cities without specialized seafood markets, there will be stalls for aquatic products in large farmers' markets. Take a camera, look at the variety, ask the price, and talk about the changes of seafood varieties in different seasons. If you leave the local market, you can visit the nearest central city and provincial capital city. Because you are out of town, your budget is relatively large. It is recommended to see more and eat less. Ha ha. Another special point to note is that seafood is difficult to cook. The market usually opens before dawn, and the sun basically disappears. People who love to sleep late should not try to do this business. \x0d\ III。 Getting started \ x0d \ x0d \ After the above investigation, I basically understand the current market of the main local varieties. It is suggested to start with the most sought-after goods, which won't make much money but the risk is not great. You can also experience the feeling of cooking seafood. At first, don't make it too complicated. You would rather be a big variety than have everything, and nothing has depth. Don't always try to get sidetracked, wait until you have some strength and fame. Because of your brilliant idea, maybe others have tried and failed. \x0d\ IV。 Summary \x0d\ All right, let's summarize. In any industry, if you do well, you can tell others to do it according to your habits. You can ask him to pick up the goods or you can ask him to deliver the goods. On the contrary, you should try to purchase goods or even grab water, and then send it to the designated place according to other people's orders. Nowadays, hotels in big cities have professional seafood distribution company services. There are also large sources of goods, and cars are specially sent to wholesale markets around the country. According to your own funds and strength, do your own links well, and slowly you will become a leader in this industry. The basic rule is that high-end seafood is transported by air, which is live and mainly appears on the dining table of high-end hotels. Enter the inland big cities earlier and deeper. Expensive. There is no quantity. In the past, middle and low-grade seafood was not worth air transportation because of its long transportation time, and could not be transported to inland cities, but ordinary people could consume it and the demand was large. At present, with the acceleration of trains and the completion of expressways, many middle and low-grade varieties can enter inland cities, and the seafood industry has unprecedented opportunities for development.
